The number of visitors was “slightly north of” 2,000 and between ticket sales, sponsorships and income generated by an on-site boutique hosted by Bloom, the committee this week was able to present a check for $102,422 to Children’s Hospital Colorado.

Eighteen of the Denver area’s top design firms participated in the project presented by UMB Bank, breathing new life into a vintage home situated in one of the city’s historic neighborhoods.

“Children’s Hospital Colorado appreciates the time, talent and generous contributions given by the Denver Designer Show House committee, sponsors, designers, tour participants and volunteers,” says Lindsey Alexander, senior special events manager at Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation. “This unique event unites the Denver design industry with the local community and helps provide funding to support children and families at Children’s Colorado. We can’t thank the Denver Designer Show House committee enough for their spirit of giving.”

The 2013 Show House was a 1927 Arts & Crafts gem in the Morgan’s Historic District, sited on a picturesque half-acre bordering the Denver Botanic Gardens. The 7,000-square-foot house was built by Henry Porter — a local businessman, philanthropist and Porter Hospital namesake — when he was 90 years old.

It features expert craftsmanship, period detailing, seven bedrooms, eight baths, and a wrap-around porch. It also has stories to tell, as its property was once burial grounds owned by the Catholic Church.

The home was remodeled by the participating designers and was featured in the Fall 2013 issue of Luxe Magazine.

Canady Construction provided all the building needs and Steve Ekman was the resident architect. The interior designers donated their time and talents; they also purchased materials and secured donations or loans of necessary materials and furnishings.

Mancuso is the most decorated Olympic female American alpine skier of all time. She won gold in giant slalom in the 2006 Winter Games in Turin, Italy, and silver medals in downhill and combined during the 2010 Games in Whistler, British Columbia.

One hundred people attended the party held at the Beaver Creek Lodge, including Mancuso’s U.S. Ski Team colleague Resi Stiegler; former member Sarah Schleper; several members of the Canadian ski team, and Jenn Bruno, one of three new members of the Vail Town Council.

The event was sponsored by Spyder, Carlsberg and Audi Boulder.

The Nature Valley Raptor World Cup proved to be a tough weekend for the U.S. Ski Team. Stacey Cook was the top-placing American, finishing 19th in the downhill race and Mancuso coming in at No. 20.

Still, the mood was upbeat.

Mancuso, who came to the world cup races ranking second in the world for Super G, said: “We have an amazing group of coaches. That helps a lot with inspection and course report, being able to really nail it on the first run. That’s been my strength the last years. I’m just building off of that confidence and every year is getting a little faster, a little better.”
